CHAPTER I: THE LAND OF ILEÍN (1)
Riu-Ileín was a region rooted in chivalry and diplomacy. Full of men faithful to their King, like little ants serving their colony. A large and beautiful region, seized for years and several hundred miles, full of rivers, streams, and waterfalls; innumerable forests, hills and mountains, which enjoyed all kinds of exotic species. Fundamentally new and fresh ecosystems, embryos of life. Organisms meeting their first evolutionary steps, experimenting with their environments. Completely magical, sophisticated and mysterious creatures.
Hence, this kingdom had been slow to complement itself. Millennia of wars, thousands and thousands of men were sacrificed to have come to this great and unbreakable monarchy. Through his ancestors, the legitimate King Agameus inherited these blissful lands; together with his beloved queen Eliz and his 12 excellencies of daughters, who were crowned as duchesses and eternal possessors of the immense empire. Its parts were distributed equally, choosing from the firstborn to the last of his daughters, the peoples and the different states corresponding to the King's judgment, and they swore reverence to them, and the soldiers of these nations, swore the loyalty paid with the life towards the sovereignty and eternal power of King Agameus. A superb king, however, and subtly self-centered. For there was no kingdom that competed or even dared to imagine fighting against such a huge and solidified kingdom through the centuries.
The town was sustained mainly by the wealth extracted by the King. Gold, copper, platinum, maltese and emeralds of all color gammas were offered to the towns, to turn the states into small cities, with detailed structures and designs, apart from the payment to the small governors who promised fortresses and militias for defense from all points of the empire. A fearsome kingdom, indestructible by any terrestrial.
When the last of his daughters turned 16 rimerian springs, Agameus ordered all his daughters to disperse to their corresponding estates by hereditary right. He ordered them to reign, govern, influence, negotiate and mainly, relate to her people and find a man worthy of her hand. For Agameus, he had f*******n romantic relationships with any of his daughters. It was not going to be, until the last of them was ready, for all of them to go out in search of the autonomy of their lives. For the one who will demonstrate the best leadership was to be her name sealed from her as the rightful heir to the entire Gloen kingdom. For Agameo, age did not matter but maturity in his actions. The personality and character of his daughters would prove to whom she was chosen to erect the great throne. A judgment that he himself wished to impart, through the obvious. Well, the obvious to him was the indisputable. It was a question that he wanted to resolve being alive and placed on sacred parchment. He was not going to allow such a generational effort to obtain so much wealth and power to be thrown overboard. Nothing guaranteed or won for anyone; all equally, they had to demonstrate which was the most suitable for the position.
"Father, can't you see how unfair this is to me?" -claims Rosa- "This is the kind of embarrassment that you put me through. Thirty-six springs, without a partner without choosing my mandate and being your first daughter."
"Rosalina, daughter. This is why I am giving you Elietcel, the most organized of my states. I have already mentioned you, I am not looking for age or chronology. I am looking for maturity, attitude and love in this Kingdom. Seeing you whimsically and infallibly demanding a reign which you never fought or shed blood for, is the reason why I want equity among my heirs. With this you do not seem to show attitude for this enormous responsibility, and you disappoint me. But still, I believe in you. You are the one who has more experience, and this is what you must value and take into consideration. "
"I cannot believe this or what you are telling me. The neighboring kingdoms have had it consecrated through the centuries that the firstborn is the one who has the direct right to inherit the throne. An opportunity like the one that, at the time, yourself You saw "
"Well, that's the way it is, this is not another one of those kingdoms. This is Gloen, an empire, a fortress. She has become so huge that I will not allow any daughter of mine to seize it; but rather the one who show greater courage, love and resilience. I became King because only I was left standing in the last of our battles. My brothers, my friends and my father died, and between tears and pain we raised this flag and became sovereign at last This is your chance, take it or leave it. "
.
"But-"
"I will not speak anymore. We have discussed this enough times. Take your horse and your sword, and go to your people. She exercises as the strong woman you are. I'll be watching you very closely. Never forget what we have taught you. Go now, for today I must let all your sisters go. I want time to say goodbye and bless each of my daughters "
"Beneath deepest lagoons of submerged afflictions, wherein the sleepless goddess awakes. Wherein her spirit arouses as the figure of sacred waters, above all hidden lakes. Like ones whose dance lifted realms among the deepest meadows, for the return of that child who drowns without knowing it. The deserted prince looked into the distance, amidst the epiphany of the mystery from the mystical waterfalls. And there he saw a familiar face; a shine that assailed him calmly. His soul could not process it, but he knew the transcendence of his voyage had arrived, and reached the point of his long awaited healing. And although his heart found shelter in divinities from a mother, his loss was not erase from memory of the unbeatable. Quite the contrary. The beatific presence grew his thirst, for angst and revenge.
In reality, dragons were always mystical creatures to humans. They were Kepler's protectors, but they were f*******n to interfere with the natural course of humans. Despite the fact that these were at war or destroyed each other, the dragons had to allow the natural course of their species since their objective was to protect Kepler from superior problems. Any dragon that interfered with humans and killed them was supposed to be annihilated.
The prince then comes down and settles on a small mountain within a lake on a three-moon night ¾. And the essence of argon begins to call the essence of Leyra (Amalia) to deliver the book. She then arrives and when they see each other they fall completely in love. It was said that Amalia was the most beautiful woman and the most beautiful being in Kepler. When she was a child, her hair had navy blue streaks and her eyes had dark navy blue irises as well as her eyebrows. Leyra falls in love with Argon and a kind of platonic love is generated and they become best friends. Argon explains to Amalia that this is a gift from Mother Nature and that in her are all the charms and spells to be able to advance her magic and develop it to perfection for decades and centuries.
Amalia and Argon become best friends, and Amalia practiced all of her spells and charms with Argon on the mountain. For six years, they maintained a very strong friendship. Until Amalia began to have terrifying dreams where scenes of suffering and destruction of her people appeared. For two weeks Amalia was so scared and so nervous about seeing her family die that Argon decides to find out if this is going to happen. He realizes that yes, but that Amalia will not die and she must accept the natural course of things. He transmits that to her and she gets worse. She tries to accept with suffering and after several days seeing herself with argon only to cry, Argon tells Amalia that he is going to save her and that he is going to fight against the army that wants to destroy her town. ether with Teo (he was a blacksmith) they forge a golden sword for him. With this then he leads with the army of the village the battle against the coming army. The village wins the battle and Amalia and Argon are crowned as the kings of the village at just 21 years old.
Four years later, Mother Nature decides to end the village and the brief reign of Argon and Amalia, since she was in the natural order of things for the village to disappear. Mother Nature ends the rule that dragons cannot interfere with humans, and Amalia watches this rule disappear from the Book of Leyra. The dragons themselves are sent to destroy the village and restore the natural order of things, without killing Amalia. Then a battle is formed between humans and dragons, Amalia and Argon had had triplets. The drgaons fought hard against Argon and in the end they defeated him and took him unconscious to the kingdom of the dragons to be judged. The village was destroyed and everyone died, a devastated Amalia hid in the ruins, and Argon's best friend dragon took the triplets but none of them ever knew.
